How to play

Move left and right. Push into dirt to dig it. Hold down to dig down.
Fly up with the thruster (Up, W or Space). It burns lamp power.
Your lamp drains while you are underground. Get back to the surface before it runs out.
Drop ore at SELL, top up at FUEL, spend coins at the SHOP.
Deeper rock needs a better pick. A bigger cart carries more ore. A better lamp sees further and lasts longer.
Every 30 m a drill boss guards the way down. It sleeps until you land on its floor, so fill your lamp first. Make it crash into a wall, then fly over it and drop on its head.
Polygon crystals are hidden deep in the rock and look like plain stone until you are close: watch for a pink sparkle as you dig. Each one pays a little POL, and so does each drill boss the first time you beat it, and your first trip to each new depth.
Play free: guests dig the Dirt layer and earn no POL. A free InstantAdPay account opens the Clay below it and starts paying POL (first finds at a quarter of the table). The Game Pass opens Gravel and everything deeper, every drill boss and the full reward for first finds. The pink dashed line in the mine shows where your layers end.
Cracked stones are loose: dig out what's under them and they fall. Some hide ore.
Low on lamp power or coins? The SUPPLY pad opens a sponsored supply crate (a full lamp and coins) after a short sponsor visit.

Desktop: arrows or WASD, Space to fly, E to use a station, Esc for the menu.

POL Miner is running in another tab, and that tab saved newer progress. This tab stopped saving so it can't overwrite it.

Badges

Badges are just for bragging rights: they show what you have done down there and never change your coins or POL.
